There is enough places to hike and see without being to the tourist spots that one could spend weeks on going thru GNP. You will have no problems spending 8 days there, and if it were me I would skip YNP and stay in GNP for the additional 4-5 days. The east side is not as pretty as the west side, as far as I am concerned, but they are both spectacular.
As for the children, as long as they admire scenic terrain, rugged mountains, seeing mountain goats, and know enough to be on the lookout for the occasional mountain lion and multitude of bears they will have a blast. We spent a summer in the GNP area when our 3 children were 6 & 7 and did not begin to see everything there was to see.
